Take Two's Conference Over

So Take Two's conference has to come to an end and a few of Rockstar's titles made appearences including a brief montage of GTA IV, Bully and L.A. Noire, a new trailer of Midnight Club: LA and a brief teaser of the new Red Dead Revolver 2 game.

I'm based in Australia and Team Bondi has been ramping up recruitment on LA Noire for the last six months, with resume requirements including "experience with multiple platform toolkits." Make of that what you will. ;)

Actually it was. At the end of last year, Take Two claimed that the PS3 was getting L.A. Noire and an unnamed, new IP as exclusives. Yet it was being pushed back to early 2009 in an early 2008 financial report.

However, a few months ago, the bastion of game "journalism," CVG claimed otherwise, saying it was going multiplat. Yet offering no proof. So obviously rampant speculation began.

Do you really think Take-two wants to make less money by releasing their game exclusively on a third place console with a lower software attach rate? I mean I might be crazy but I think these guys want to make money and GTA4 sold 2 to 1 more on the X360.

Sony fanboys jumping to a conclusion that a game will be a PS3 exclusive despite an official announcement:

I dont discount the job posting, except the original rumor was started by Surfer Girl back in March. The reason for Sony stopping the funding was bc of the bad blood between Phil Harrison and the President of Bondi.

But what's this...Phil Harrison is no longer head of Sony. In fact, he left shortly after this supposed breakdown between the two entities.

Also, going to Bondi's website, their job listings now are solely for PS3 artists and animators.

Does this mean anything? Not necessarily. But seeing the source of the original rumor and the fact that Phil Harrison is no longer in charge of Sony World Wide Studios leaves it open for interpretation.
